Top Tennis Player Bachelors & Bachelorettes

You’ve heard about Wozniacki’s breakup. You might know about Ernests Gulbis’ less than shining reputation with the ladies. But do you know all of professional tennis’ bachelors and bachelorettes? If you’re looking for love, MyTennisLessons can help you find it! Stop daydreaming about taken tennis stars like Grigor Dimitrov. There’s plenty of single players on the tour you may not have thought of before; here are just a few:

wozniacki

Name: Caroline Wozniacki

Age: 24

Birthplace: Odense, Denmark

Residence: Monte Carlo, Monaco

Relationship history: The 2014 U.S. Open finalist split with fiancé Rory McIlroy in May, but was rumored to be dating fellow tennis pro Feliciano Lopez shortly afterward.

Fun fact: In November she’ll run the New York City Marathon for charity.

Love forecast: If it’s true that the world no. 20 (dubbed “Deliciano” by none other than Andy Murray’s mom) has captured Caroline’s heart, anyone else might have a difficult time winning her over.

gulbis

Name: Ernests Gulbis

Age: 26

Residence: Jurmala, Latvia

Relationship history: Gulbis claims to have never dated a girl. “I don’t let her believe she’s my girlfriend,” he said. The ATP no. 13 was also arrested on suspicion of soliciting a prostitute in 2009.

Fun fact: His family is one of the richest in Latvia. “I have a helicopter, a submarine and a spaceship,” he said when asked by a reporter if he travels to matches in a private jet.

Love forecast: If you’re into dating an international playboy, Gulbis is your guy.

kvitova

Name: Petra Kvitova

Age: 24

Birthplace: Bilovec, Czech Republic

Residence: Monte Carlo, Monaco

Relationship history: The Wimbledon champ parted ways with ATP player Radek Stepanek earlier this year.

Fun facts: She likes strawberry ice cream and Czech soap operas and held a koala during the Australian Open this year.

Love forecast: Seems like a sweetheart. Could you be Petra’s next doubles partner?

sousa

Name: Joao Sousa

Age: 25

Birthplace: Guimaraes, Portugal

Residence: Barcelona, Spain

Fun fact: He was the first Portuguese player to be seeded in a grand slam as he took the  no. 32 spot at the U.S. Open this year.

Relationship history: In a 2013 ATP interview he said that his girlfriend was one of his biggest supporters, but we’re unsure of who this mystery lady was (is).

Love forecast: In the aforementioned interview Sousa said when not on the court he enjoyed reading and going to the movies with his girlfriend. Sounds like a keeper.

bouchard

Name: Eugenie Bouchard

Age: 20

Residence: Montreal, Canada

Fun fact: She’s known as the selfie queen on social media and even took a selfie with the Pope.

Relationship history:  At the Australian Open this year, Bouchard gained a male following calling themselves “Genie’s Army.” After winning in the quarterfinals, a reporter appeased the crowed by asking who Bouchard would date if she could date anyone in the world and Bouchard sheepishly named Justin Bieber.

Love forecast: The young tennis star is in no shortage of suitors. It looks like for now she’s focused on her game while enjoying her time in the limelight.

giraldo

Name: Santiago Giraldo

Age: 26

Birthplace: Pereira, Colombia

Residence: Bradenton, Florida

Fun fact: He’s a proud uncle to toddlers Rafaela and Dominica and posts a lot of pictures of them on social media.

Relationship history: He was previously engaged to Andrea Guerrero, a Colombian TV sports reporter, but she apparently called it off in 2013. She got married to someone else earlier this year.

Love forecast: The Colombian recently posted some photos on his Instagram account of a woman with the captions #monamor and #felizdeestarcontigo (“my love” and “happy to be with you”), but it’s unclear how serious the relationship is. For now, it appears Santiago may be off the market.

goeges

Name: Julia Goerges

Age: 25

Residence: Bad Oldesloe, Germany

Fun fact: She is a fan of biathlons and the Bayern Munich soccer team.

Relationship history: Little is published about Goerges’ love life, but you can certainly find several articles online about her looks. She may not have an army like Genie, but she has a lot of fans.

Love forecast:  Looks like the winner of two WTA singles titles might be single.

klizan

Name: Martin Klizan

Age: 25

Residence: Bratislava, Slovakia

Fun fact: He has an unfinished cross tattoo on his right calf. “I’m not finished because I am waiting for some big moments in my life,” he said in a 2013 interview. “A wedding for example, or my first child or something like this. I’m going to make a date there inside of the cross.”

Relationship history: One article written in 2012 said he had a tennis player girlfriend of three years.

Love forecast: Klizan is probably waiting on you to finish the calf tattoo.
